Got out just before the recent cold spell with granthansen and ErikinNJ for a full-day hunt at a large private spot near me that we've hit before. Grant already posted his George II copper and each of us found some interesting relics. Here was my take, including what I believe to be a deconstructed sterling silver pocket knife, 2 ornate suspender clips, a flat button (had another larger one but it jumped out of my finds' pouch), a warrior figurine, and a few t/b/d's. I think the cross/anchor/heart (symbols for faith/hope/charity) piece is the top to a rosary bead or some other small tin. No old coinage to speak of this time, but some nice relics instead. HH

It was a fun day and you guys scored some nice finds for sure. Love the sterling "knife" and the ornate suspender clips! I was happy with my finds, but you guys are too good--next time I'm not arriving to the party late with a hangover!! :laughing7:
